I'm British living in Poland and am unable to get the 'measuring cups' used in american recipes. Can anyone tell me roughly the size of cup used. Is it a traditional tea cup size? My scales convert from oz to grams, is there any easy way to convert for example 1 cup of sugar or flour into oz or grams please. At the minute I'm guessing quite a bit!
Thank you

Hope this helps

Thanks for your quick response, they were plenty of hits for weight converter, but not what I was looking for. I guess it's not as straight forward as I thought, because of course 1 cup of flour isn't going to weigh the same as 1 cup of cooked apple or maybe 1 cup of butter. I suppose I really need to have an idea of what size cup is used. Thanks again though.

Neelie have you looked at your measuring jug I have cups right next to my pints and that just was bought in europe.

Google is your friend. SO useful for conversions.

Hi--One cup is 8 oz

Fl. oz. I hope you mean.

Thanks to everyone for your help, I seem to have got the hang of it, well at least whatever I cook gets eaten!

And Neelie that's all that matters :D

Yes, fl. oz.
